It sounds like you are referring to a thin decorative plywood material that is finished with a cosmetically attractive outside layer of hardwood (ash, oak, red oak, birch, maple or mahogany) that looks pretty nice; this is often called "lauan" or "luan" plywood. It is sold at most home improvement type stores in the lumber section. Usually it comes in smaller pieces that might measure 2 x 4-feet and it is typically not more than 1/4-inch thick.
